Renee Joye Hilton, age 54, died Saturday, Dec. 23.

She was born in Grand Rapids on Dec. 3, 1969, to Dennis Decker and Dawn (Roerig) Aubertin, both of whom preceded her in death, along with her grandmother, Gloria Wisman.

Renee touched many lives; she had a joyous heart with open arms. She loved crafting, gardening, and being with animals (dachshunds were her favorite), but Renee loved her grandchildren most of all.

She is survived by her husband, Chuck; brother, Eric; son, Nick; daughter-in-law, Elizabeth; daughter, Tera; nephew, Uriah; and her grandchildren, Abel, Solomon, Eliza and Margaret.

Family, friends, and all loved ones whose lives were touched by Renee are welcome to Green Lake Calvary Church (608 145th Ave., Caledonia, from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, to gather, share memories, grieve and support each other.
